[Megatron]

A buddy sent this to me...I just thought it was funny.

LOL!  Pretty close, but it needs to be cased up first

[Arseen]

That is pretty much my current style.

[sheep2001]

Yup, yup, yup.  What's so funny? Lol

[Blueprint]

that's funny as hell..

[madrocsz]

have to agree with wiggy, otherwise spot on

also, the ad I had to watch was longer than video, always annoying lol

[Mert]

Haha, it's funny because it's true.

30 second ad for a 10 second video clip.  'Tis a sign of the times... 

Definitely spot on, though.  I hate that I've become this, to be honest (well, it's a love/hate sorta thing).  I used to always play the NES games I got when they came in, but since getting my Wii U I've been playing that almost exclusively for the past three months and have barely had time to play any of the new NES games I've gotten in.  Makes me feel kind of bad, but I know someday I'll get to playing them.  Probably won't be soon, however, since everyone has been complaining that the Wii U has no games now and I've STILL been playing the hell out of it.  Can't imagine what it's going to be like when titles start to hit.  MH3U out next month...there goes my free time.

I didn't notice the first time through that he's watching Hentai anime after tossing the box.  Double LULZ!

That's cute.

I've got over 700 unbeaten games. Over 250 of which are "unplayed" (may have checked if it was working, but no serious attempt to complete yet made).

[wiggy]

I've still got sealed PS1 games that I bought working retail 10+ years ago. I'll prolly never get to em

There is a difference between unplayed games I want to play and game I do now want to. I bought Jaws recently for NES, have not played it. I bought one PS2 game because it was shiny, never played it.

[JDavis]

The vast majority of my library are games I want to play. If anything, the only exceptions would be:

A) games that came in retro collections or digital bundles (I'm looking at you, Humble Bundle) with other games that I do want to play

B) about a couple dozen of my NES games (and a few SNES games), which I bought on whims without research and have been meaning to sell off

C) maybe some games in a series where I've got most or all of the games in a single lot but haven't played the first game yet and hence haven't managed to pass judgement yet... These are "want to play" until proven otherwise.

If I take those out, it's still hundreds of games to play.

lol i dont even want to consider the games I want/should play that I own. Hell half of the newer ones are sealed. Staring at fire emblem, ni no kuni, etrian odyssey 4 sitting on my desk not to mention tomb raider, castlevania, monster hunter and bioshock later this month..... ugh

I have mostly been slacking on handhelds, that said every nes/snes game I buy I usually play for an hour or so before it gets picked up
